Mini 739 ~ Mafia Jailbreak, Game Over

[Vi]

It was all over the papers two days ago like a housebroken puppy. Two of the local scum bums, convicts, walked out of the Lunais River Prison last night. Yeah, just "walked" out. That was the first real sign we had of what was about to drop.

There's been talk that the Mafia have been aimin' to take over the big house, see. It looks like the gumshoes are doin' an ace job and haulin' 'em off the grim and rainy streets like never before, and the drug traffickin' business has taken a hit like a gal's second lover. With this escapee incident, we knew there was someone on the inside. Not just someone, maybe a bunch of 'em - they had to have a full system to get those guys out like that. And they're walkin' with us, the night watchmen.

We got a big problem on our hands. But when crimes involve dirty cops, we can't just get it solved locally. No, we gotta get the FBI in on it, and let THEM cut a stack of papers before they can do anything about it. That's the way it is; that's the law for ya.

Then we found Goodman's body yesterday. The blood spatter and the forehead piercing told the story better than the coroner could. We all know prisoners can't have guns. We gave everyone the run-around, but nobody 'fessed up.

But then we found what used to be Prince's body this morning. Same M.O.. On what was left of him was a note sayin' the killings would continue until everyone got out.

The law? Fuhgeddaboutit. We're settlin' this our own way.

General Rules

in which we hide technicalities to mess people over later

[Not stolen from anyone, and not likely to be stolen by anyone.]

1)

Starting and Ending States:

The game starts during the Day. All roles that can communicate at Night may do so for the first 24 hours of the first Day. The game will end when a faction has fulfilled its win condition.
2)

Day Procedures:

Nothing unusual here - each player may discuss the game and cast a single vote at a time against people they want to lynch. Day ends when either the deadline hits or a strict majority of the votes are on one person.
3)

Voting:

Votes should be in

bold

in order for them to count, for instance:

Vote: Prof. Guppy

. If you wish to vote for a different player, you MUST unvote, also in

bold

. As long as I can tell who you're voting for, I don't care if you abbreviate someone's name when you vote them.
4)

No Lynch:

As an alternative to voting for someone, you may

Vote: No Lynch

, but for it to take effect, enough players must vote No Lynch that it would be impossible to form any other majority.
5)

Deadlines and Deadline Reviews:

Each Day's deadline will occur 18 days after the Day starts. Starting at Day 14 and on every fourth day afterward, I will review the game's activity. If I like what's going on ITT, I will push the deadline back four days. Otherwise, the deadline will become fixed. The deadline will not be pushed back more than three times per Day.
6)

Mass Inactivity:

For each 24-hour window in which no posts are made in the topic, the deadline will be moved forward 24 hours. This can be waived if a third of the living players have given notice of V/LA at the time.
7)

Deadline Lynches:

If no single player has enough votes for a lynch at the deadline, the result is No Lynch and the game proceeds to Night. Deadlines are your problem, not mine.

8)

Twilight:

After someone receives the majority vote, everyone may still discuss the game until the topic is locked, but votes and unvotes will not be considered - the person voted for by the majority will be lynched regardless.

9)

Night Length and Procedures:

The topic will be locked at Night. If your Role PM specifies that you have a Night Action, you may follow the instructions on that PM to use it. After 72 hours, the Night will end and another Day will begin.
10)

Night Action Resubmission:

If you have to PM a choice to the mod (i.e. the name of someone you want to kill/protect/investigate), you may change your choice at any time during the Night by sending the mod another PM with the new choice. The most recent choice will be honored.
11)

Contradictory Action Policy:

In the event of contradictory Night Actions (i.e. a mutual roleblock, or deciding kill flavor when someone is targeted by multiple kills), priority is given to whoever PMs the mod with the action first.

12)

Bolding Stuff:

Bolding something is how you get the mod to notice it. It's that simple.
13)

Mod Color:

The flavor text is in a pseudo-noir style; in light of this, if I am going to edit your post it will be in

this style

. Don't impersonate me.
14)

Activity, Prods, and Replacements:

You will be prodded if three days have passed since your last post; a request for replacement will go out if five days pass. If you are prodded twice in one RL week, you will be replaced. If you are prodded three times in one game day, you will be replaced. If you know ahead of time that you will not be able to participate for at least 48 hours, go ahead and announce it in-thread so nobody (such as THE MOD) thinks you're lurking. You may need to be replaced anyway though, but the chances are much smaller.
15)

"Bah!" Posts:

If your player slot is out of the game, it's probably because people don't want you around. Go away and don't come back until the endgame. You are allowed one "bah" post provided you only use the lowercase letter 'f', with no spaces.
16)

Outside Discussion:

Don't discuss this game outside of this thread with anyone unless your Role PM lets you do otherwise.
17)

Post Edition:

Editing or deleting posts is not allowed (and usually not possible). Doublepost with your changes instead.
18)

Mod Correspondence:

NEVER claim to quote your Role PM or any correspondence with the mod. The mod will not confirm or deny anything you attribute to a private conversation.
19)

Modkills:

Breaking any of the above four rules may result in you getting modkilled, retroactively if needs be. If a living player breaks any of these rules, the day may or may not end, depending on what would disadvantage that player's faction the most. A dead player breaking any of these rules will result in someone from the same faction getting modkilled. In addition, getting modkilled results in an instant loss for that player and a blacklist from future games, along with my general hatred. In summary, follow the rules.

20)

Stuff:

There are plenty of good reasons to PM the mod - if you disagree with something I have done, if you want clarification about something I've said, or if you want to know what is acceptable to post. If you're unsure about what's you can or can't do, just ask the mod via PM. If this does not help (or you think this will not help), remember that Vi is a bastard mod. ^.^
21)

Miscellaneous:

Play to win.
22)

Other Things:

Have fun. Or else. And remember, it's a game - keep it classy and don't take things personally; everyone's doing what they have to to win.
23)

One More Thing:

Don't annoy the mod. The mod annoys back.
24)

Etc.:

Etc.

Hawt New Game Mechanic Rules:

25)

Semi-open Setup:

All of the possible roles and win conditions in this game will be in the next post. Nobody will receive a role PM that is different from any of those listed in the next post. (Well, the blanks for names will be filled in, but other than that.)
26)

Mod Note Policy:

There are no mod notes attached to any of the roles. There are no sanity issues, no hidden strings tied to roles; what you see is what you get.
27)

Flavor Policy:

Names mentioned in the flavor don't have anything to do with alignments. I just need relevant names for the flavor, simple as that.

If you take issue with the rules, please PM me as soon as possible before any precedents get set. Especially if you have modding experience.

[Vi]

Win Conditions:

The Town win condition is: Be a member of the only faction left in the game, or in a scenario when nothing can prevent the same.
The Mafia win condition is: Ensure that your faction comprises at least half of the living players, or nothing can prevent the same.
The Serial Killer win condition is: Be one of the last two players remaining in the game, or in a scenario when nothing can prevent the same.

Roles:

These are all of the roles that may be present in this game.

You are Officer _______, one of the night watchmen at Lunais River Prison. You don't know anything really specific about the other officers and don't have any strings you can pull to get additional help. However, that won't stop you from aiding the effort to find and take out the dirty cops before something bad happens to the whole squad.

You are Officer _______, one of the night watchmen at Lunais River Prison. You don't know anything really specific about the other officers, and don't have any strings to pull to get additional help. But you are Taser-qualified. At Night, you may PM the mod with the name of a player that you'd like to stun the heck out of. If that player tries to use a night action, it will be annulled. You may not target yourself(!), and you may not target the same person on consecutive nights.

You are Officer ________, one of the night watchmen at Lunais River Prison. You don't know anything really specific about the other officers, but you are on back-up medical staff. You took the duty roster down, so nobody else knows this. At Night, you may PM the mod with the name of a player you'd like to hang around.

You don't know anything really specific about the other officers, but you have the master key to the spare prison cells and a good idea. At Night, you may PM the mod with the name of a player you would like to imprison for the night. This effectively "removes" them from the game for that Night - they will not be able to be targeted by anyone else (even by Night Kills), but they will also be roleblocked. You may not imprison yourself, and you may not imprison the same person on consecutive nights.

The ally you name will kill the victim you name.

You yourself have a special plan of action - you can make conversation with, cover for, drug, or otherwise distract another player all night; preventing them from using any Night Action they may have.

With that list of yours, you also have another option available to you - watching someone's route and seeing if anyone tries to mess with it. It's a tedious job, but one that pays dividends in the long run. PM the mod with the name of who you would like to watch in this way. You may not target yourself, and you may not watch the same person on consecutive nights.

You are Officer _________, one of the night watchmen at Lunais River Prison. You don't know anything really specific about the other officers, and that's probably a good thing since they probably don't know much about you (you're kinda new). See... it's around that time of the month for you, and... well... things get bloody.

This should be a hunt for Mafia, but you are a Werewolf. You know that if the FBI finds out about this when next month's full moon comes around, you're a sure goner. Killing the other officers, while you don't like the idea, is the only way you're going to survive now that the Lunais River Prison guards are not obligated to be able to leave their jobs freely. Thus, your primary goal in life is to be the last person standing. At Night, you may kill someone by PMing the name of your victim to the mod. In addition, in werewolf form you have superhuman vitality and can survive a single gunshot wound (read: Mafia kill). You will be told if you have been shot (obviously).

(If requested I will revert to vote counts in terms of the number of people voting someone; however, as a player I find it more useful to know how many more people would have to vote someone to lynch them. Especially in games with unusual vote mechanics, though this isn't one of them.)
